Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Ryu_Ar1]

Many people predicted for Manchester city to defeat Tottenham forest, because they were leading the match in the first half that made Nottingham forest coach to make some changes in the second half that gave Nottingham forest a good opportunity to scored at 84 minutes to equalized the goal 1-1.

Manchester City really dominated the match, the club scored its first goal at 41 minute. Everybody will expect Manchester City would win the match even with more goals, but as Manchester dominated the match which is normal, Nottingam Forest was able to score back at second half and Manchester City not able to win again. All I know is that EPL is a tough league, it is not easy and even a big team can disappoint at times just like Manchester drew with Nottingam Forest. Arsenal is dominating with just 2 points now, not far but Manchester City is only trying but not performing up to expection.

This is really very unfortunate, even though it was only one week that they were at the top but had to lose again and were in second place after a really bad result in my opinion even though this was a draw with mastery and their condition, which is actually the favorite.
What made me a little frustrated too were my bets. because indeed I put City into multi which I think can make this a win but with their draw my hope to get more than multi was wasted.

Rashford is not easy to replace when he is on form he is a world class attacker and I do not think they can buy any one in the transfer window that would be willing to sit on the bench hoping that Rashford gets injured. He is a little injury prone and that is a problem but when the team performs and he is playing he scores them goals. I think the last couple of seasons of bad form was because Ronaldo was stealing all the glory and Rashford struggled with that. De Gea would be my man of the match because he saved us from conceding multiple goals early and I am not sure we would have recovered from that.

I never said about that they need a replacement but what I am saying is other also needs to join in on scoring for example Weghorst  or other wingers although I think they are playing great given what ten Haag has set roles for them. But I feel that they should be ready for the worst case scenarios.

So far, its just been Rashford seeing the team through with B. Fernández working his best and u must say, the Manchester United defence line in the likes of L. Shaw has been doing some great job too.
When I watched Weghorst in the world cup, especially in the game against Argentina, I had a lot of expectation from Weghorst and his not exactly delivering that for me. He needs to get the scoring going too but, he's not and seems to be playing deeper and deeper in a defensive midfield position with Rashford pushing forward. Maybe that's the game plan all along but, the goals aren't forth coming on his part.

Tottenham is having there go with West Ham United and Spurs are already leading by a goal in the second half.

Tottenham is having there go with West Ham United and Spurs are already leading by a goal in the second half.

In the last two matches, we have not seen a better performance than Tottenham. They conceded 4 goals against Leicester. and lost 1-0 against AC Milan. But if they want to stay in the top 4 of the points table, it was necessary for them to get full points in today's match by any means. Despite failing to score in the first half, Tottenham took the lead early in the second half with Emerson Royal's goal. Perhaps this match Tottenham is interested in winning 1-0. Because Tottenham is playing a bit defensive today.

I think its not same just because he play as a striker or he plays as a midfielder. There are lot of roles we don't know but manager does assign them in order to win games. It's working for them and that's why Weghorst has started every game (as I know of) for United since his arrival otherwise ten Haag would have tried experimenting with other players. So far its working for them and hope it continues for them.

It is becoming clearer that Graham Potter does not have the experience to handle a big club like Chelsea FC. The the new signings are  supposed to be giving positive results but up till now the team has only managed 2 points in 3 games which is very poor especially with the amount of money invested in the January window. If Roman Abramovich was still the owner, Potter would be out the door by now.

Okay I'm not angry for him losing steadily since the players have a big role to play in winning this games but they're doing so and I don't know if they're doing it in purpose to disqualify the manager but you see Graham Potter's body language when games are ongoing and his Post match interview are so irritation to my ears that if I had the power he would be sacked while still granting that interview. He doesn't have any attributes of a manager that wants to win. I saw a report online that Graham Potter is so clueless that he doesn't even know his own first eleven a day before the games are been played.

Why will a manager rest the likes of Reece James, Tiago silver etc while they don't have any match in the coming days or injury. Why rest those players when that doesn't even guarantee us a win against Dortmund. He just doesn't know what he's doing and that worries me because we're supposed to be giving our new owners some reason to want to spend more in the summer so we can get atleast a striker to complete the takeover of the club but we just keep on losing.

It was definitely a spectacular performance by Manchester United attackers especially. They had a very productive day against Leicester.

Rashford is just mesmerizing this season. Because Erik ten Hag is giving the chances he wants from him and Rashford is taking advantage of these chances in a great way in general. With the two goals he scored today, he has reached 14 goals in the league now. He is only a couple of goals away from Kane which is amazing. Despite all his huge offensive effort I think Manchester United will still go for a solid centre-forward before next season. The reason is that Weghorst is very ineffective now.

Wout Weghorst, 6 appearances 0 goals and 1 assist. That's not a statistic one would expect from a centre-forward. Ten Hag may have been too pushy about signing Weghorst in the last transfer window because Manchester United were in need of a centre-forward. But his performance did not live up to expectations because he really struggled to get a goal in a number of appearances in the Premier League.

So of course, Ten Hag should be quite aware that Manchester United need a better centre-forward than Weghorst next season. But because the season is still long I think Weghorst can still work hard to prove something to the manager and his team. The adaptation is good, but not as productive as one might hope.

[Bananington]

Tottenham is having there go with West Ham United and Spurs are already leading by a goal in the second half.

Son came off the bench to replace Richarlison and within a few minutes of play, he has scored a goal from an assist from Harry kane to double Tottenham's Lead and increase their chances of getting into fourth place ahead of Newcastle who are a game behind. Very important goal for Son who is almost becoming a substitute player to Richarlison due to his lack of goals this season, unlike last season where he scored a lot of goals. Tottenham will be happy with this three points that they are surely claiming from this game against Westhampton United.

[Freeveto]

Indeed, It was a very good game today at Old Trafford, Manchester United played a very good game today and all our fans across the world was impressed, the defensive strength, the formidable midfielders and the perfect finishes from Dr Marcos Rashford and Sancho was very impressive.
Manchester United is showing strong trophy contending and gradually closing the point differences with Manchester city and thereby climbing the top of the table gradually.

[BRINIRHA]

It has been a splendid outplay by Manchester United in the English Premiership, the result gotten by Manchester United in their encounter with Leicester city was an expected gesture, Manchester United has been much more in form and they deserve what they got, the total possession,shot on target and completed passes of the match was won by the host team, they played the match aggressively with a good finish.

so true. although in the early minutes Leicester had some good chances. But the MU goalkeeper was still able to ward off the right ball towards the goal. and after that MU continued to provide extraordinary attacks. MU's victory in this match was as expected. and with this, MU is getting closer to fighting for the title this season.

currently Tottenham vs Westham is at the end of the game. and the score is still 2-0 over Tottenham's advantage. it looks like Tottenham will also get a win in peace in this match.

[Jossque]

Manchester united continue to win. They're playing really well and they've been rewarded with a win. The gap with Manchester City is now down to three points. City's loss of points was good news for them.
Tottenham defeated West Ham 2-0 at home this week after last week's bad defeat to Leicester. This win will make them happy to some extent. At least in terms of keeping the points difference with the opponent above them. A win this week will give them a boost as they play Chelsea next week.

[Asiska02]

It seems to be heading in the right direction for Arsenal at the moment. A disappointing draw for City yesterday and Arsenal did win this week. So good business done by that team.

Arsenal are having a great time right now, or perhaps I should call it luck. After fumbling against Manchester City and giving them an advantage, they played extremely well against Aston Villa to earn a victory yesterday. They completely outperformed them by going from 2:1 to 2:4. I hope they maintain their good form and do not allow Manchester City to get close to the top of the table.

Chelsea lost a bad game. But yes, somehow I also get it because after all they have not had any financial resources to buy new players, haha. It's like there's a curse on this team. They've spent a lot of money and it's only getting worse. Time for a new trainer? I think you really need to think about that. Who else is going to manage it there at Chelsea? The season may still be saved a little by qualifying for CL. But that will also be a very difficult job.

I'm not sure why the new owner of Chelsea has been so kind to Graham Potter; are they related, business partners, or what? This man has spent a lot of money on players with no positive results to date. Is this how the management will continue to watch him until Chelsea is eliminated from all league competition and fighting for relegation? I fully support his dismissal right now. He's had plenty of time to make changes, but no progress has been made.

[Moeda]

Leicester City was by no means a weak opponent. This group is very strong now. And they played very well in today's match too. But the performance of Manchester United players was exceptional. Also, their match strategy was very good. And because of the good match strategy, United's players were able to successfully counter every attack of Leicester.

In the first half Leicester City were able to control the ball well even though they conceded 1 goal. In fact, they played in an attacking style, and took several shots at Manchester United's goal, and there were very often passing mistakes for Manchester United players. I think Leicester City will win the game. But on the contrary in the second half, Manchester United carried out dangerous attacks on Danny Ward's goal. In fact, there was almost no counter attack for Leicester City. I think this is the character of coach Erik ten Hag who is able to read the opponent's game and change the strategy in the second half. The premier league is getting more and more interesting, even today it is still difficult to predict who will be the first winner. My guess is Arsenal will not get this opportunity.

Manchester United won the game and Erik ten Hag doing his job very well, during all these months he joined this team Ten Hag showed us a better version of Manchester United compared to the last situations of this team even f you consider their superstar Cristiano Ronaldo left this team to Asian teams but still they even could perform better than before when he was playing there, maybe they can even have hope for finishing the league in fist position of the table.

[skarais]

I still find it hard to believe that Manchester City actually wasted a good chance to lead the table over Arsenal.
Maybe it wasn't just their fault that they weren't able to keep the win, but Nottingham was really motivated to steal that 1 point from them. Although something like this is not surprising, but Manchester City should not make mistakes like this at crucial moment.

Arsenal managed to reclaim the top of the standings after winning a crucial game against Aston Villa. It's just that they almost failed to win it if there wasn't that late goal, but it was a good result as expected.

~~~

I admit it was an expected victory. This victory proves that Manchester United are ready to compete in the top 4 positions for the remainder of this season and qualify for the Champions League next season. They are safe from the pressure of other teams like Tottenham or maybe even Newcastle.

Indeed, if see at the statistics from last 6 matches, Weghorst performance has not been very good as a striker, he has yet to score a single goal in the premier league. He has to be a goal machine to help Rashford at Manchester United, but the agenda is still long and this man is expected to be productive at next matches. Also today match did not disappointing Ten Hag already has what he needs for the rest of this season.

Yeah Weghorst is the center forward and needs to be banging goals, he has surely miss some clear cut chances but we have all failed to acknowledge his team ability. He drops deeper to hold on to the ball which creates space for his wingers. Ten Hag saw his potential in that area and has deployed him there since Erickson got injured and it is paying off just that it takes Bruno outta of the game but Werghost is working his ass off for the team. A little composure and time to adapt and he might get better. The only area he needs to improve most is his aerial battle

Benzema had played similar role before with Ronaldo and Bale banging in goals and it worked so I think Ten hag is using almost similar pattern

[Altryist]

Actually, yes, Manchester United have a chance to compete with Arsenal and City. And it's great how ten Hag managed to create such a strong team relatively quickly. Their main advantage is that they are a very young team and they have a lot of potential, and if this season was the period of their formation, then next season they will have a better chance of winning the championship. And I liked how Manchester United played with Barcelona, the team is clearly progressing.

[Zackgeno96]

I am especially curious what punishment Manchester City will receive in the competition. Would they really get a lot of points deducted? That would have major consequences in the battle for the championship. Then Arsenal is actually already 90% champion due to the big lead over United. And United recorded another fine victory today without conceding a goal. It is a pity that United have been very sloppy at the start of the competition. Newcastle United have sunk a bit but are still having a great season. And what I think is especially great about that team is that they have not made any strange expenses. You don't see that often either. You would expect them to immediately buy tens of millions worth of players.

On Manchester City's punishment, am sure they don't want any of those at the moment as it would greatly affect the team. Even the least which is point deduction would be so bad as it could see them away from the top four and Pep out. It's very hard to accept for fgese guys, haven't put in all there efforts and see it wasted by the board.

Manchester United today just showed how in control they ca be about there games. I was watching and was wondering what were they doing in the first half, they seemed not lik the Manchester United I had watched in other games but, it looked like a grand plan all along. Ten Hag has definitely has his plans going for him and to the joy of the fans, it gives them the thrills of the Ferguson era. Even with them not looking to winning the EPL trophy. Another 3 points for them and a clean sheet too.

Manchester United again recorded a victory this week where Rashford et al managed to beat Leicester City with a score of 3-0. Manchester United are increasingly comfortable in third place in the standings because they were able to widen the distance from Tottenham to 7 points. whereas with Manchester City the difference in points is only 3 points away so there is a great opportunity for Manchester United to be able to take second place if they continue to be consistent in the upcoming matches.

Even Manchester United is also included in the team that will compete in the race for the title this season because the point gap with the top of the standings is only 5 points. I think Erik Ten Hag in his first season with Manchester united is going pretty well so far.
